Dispersal draft held for former Thrashers players

Only two years after purchasing and relocating their franchise from Sarnia to Wallaceburg, the Senior “B” Thrashers have ceased operations.

A tweet posted from the Thrashers official Twitter account on December 29th, 2016 stated that the team was folding due to ‘not having an Executive for the 2017 season.’

The tweet then redirects followers to the Wallaceburg Thrashers website where a short message reiterates that the team had unsuccessfully searched for volunteers for two months to replace the outgoing Executive and thanked its fans for their support during their time in Wallaceburg.

As a result of this decision, the Ontario Senior ‘B’ Lacrosse League’s team representatives were directed by Commissioner Sharon McKeachnie to hold a pre-season dispersal draft to determine the playing rights of the current Thrashers roster.

Per the OSBLL Policy Papers, only those players on the current protected list, and any player whose rights returned to Wallaceburg at season’s end, were eligible to be drafted. Selected first overall by the Oakville Titans was Kyle Childerhose of Ingersoll, Ontario
